Compared to who? I'd have preferred one or two more FA cups and a CL, obviously, but I'm not sure you can say it's a poor record unless everyone has a poor record in them. Winning knock out comps just needs more luck than the league, and the semi final of the FA cup always comes at a terrible time for us.Cup competitions, F.A. Cup and champions league, our record in them has been poor, so what's your point?
I am not doubting that, but our record in cups is not good, see real madrid last season, and why does it always come at a terrible time for us? The dippers were going toe to toe last season for the league with us and managed to get to the F.A. Cup final and champions league finalCompared to who?

I don't know why Liverpool winning an FA cup final and losing a CL final makes them good in cup competitions, but when we do it it makes us bad in cup competitions to be honest.I am not doubting that, but our record in cups is not good, see real madrid last season, and why does it always come at a terrible time for us?

We are bad in cup competitions, according to us we have the best manager in the world, 1 fa Cup no champions league,.1 final we lost to Chelsea, so tell me apart from league Cup, when have we shown how good we are in cup competitionsI don't know why Liverpool winning an FA cup final and losing a CL final makes them good in cup competitions, but when we do it it makes us bad in cup competitions to be honest.
And I didn't say they were good in cup competitions, you said the fa Cup semi always comes at a terrible time.for us, I merely pointed out that they were in the same boat, but still got to the finalsI don't know why Liverpool winning an FA cup final and losing a CL final makes them good in cup competitions, but when we do it it makes us bad in cup competitions to be honest.
We should have won the FA Cup more often tbf but the timing of the semis always seems to be between significant CL gamesPretty poor?
Apart from the League Cup which City have won in six out of the last nine years.
Apart from the FA Cup which City have won twice in eleven years.
I suppose that City have been rubbish in the FA Trophy and the Full Members Cup for a while? I haven’t followed the recent winners of the Lancashire Senior Cup or the Northern Counties Cup?

We have turned in some fairly poor semi final performances with mixed sides
If Ederson was in goal last season we win that game in April no problem
Didn’t Kevin remark that he fell on his wallet and that cushioned the fallThumped Palace 4-0 in the third round after being 0-0 at HT
Then leathered Norwich 6-0 next round, when Bond tried to drop down from the directors box to console his lad Kevin in the tunnel
I assume it was only his mink coat and the cigars in his pocket that cushioned his fall and prevented him from shattering both ankles
Ipswich were on for the double iirc, brilliant side, but that defeat to us broke their fragile hearts
last thing we needed, January fixture list is already pretty hard, now this as well..
could have been a dozen League Two, League 1 teams...

Most definitely. Although this occasion has worked in my favour for a change, FA Cup tickets are cheaper than League games. So I'll go to the Chelsea FA Cup game with my daughter because the tickets are cheaper and miss out on Wolves at home.It's the last thing most of our fans will have needed too, so soon after Christmas and the cost of living.
I don't suppose City's bean counters will be grumbling but I don't think I will be stretching to this one as well.
Having already bought for Liverpool in the Cup and Chelsea also certain to be on the box.
O will save on beer and train fares by not attending matches for the World Cup period which will go towards attending the Chelsea match. That said I understand everyone has a different situation. The draw has not been kind to us this season but the LFC game will be a fantastic welcome back to club football. After watching the dire football served up in Qatar so far I can't wait to see City again but January will be a make-or-break month for all clubs.Most definitely.

People will most certainly be picking and choosing their games that suits them financially especially this time of year its difficult for everyone.
For him to play a second string team and loose in the semi for the 4th year running.. no thanks.No thanks be nice to get to Wembley
True...and Wolves too.Only one club got a worse draw and that's Chelsea.
